Is it possible to get the IPIP routes delivered by conventional routing protocols (RIP, OSPF, etc) rather than running a custom daemon ?
Well, they are being delivered by RIP, but because it's supplying tunnel routes over a tunnel, it has to be handled in a special way, thus RIP44d. You don't want the tunnel routes to be seen by your normal RIP listener because the routes aren't to local next-hop addresses, they're to tunnel endpoints. - Brian
Why does the interface upon which the rip packets arrive matter to a standard ripd daeon? Does the tunnel encapsulation type matter? (would it matter or depend upon if this was l2tp/ipip/pptp/openvpn/gre/etc?) How is a rip packet that arrives on interface tun0 fundamentally different from one that arrives on eth0?
